If you’re heading to New York — or need a good reason to book a trip there — consider the annual Broadway Week deal, which actually runs for two weeks.

From Sept. 1-14, there is two-for-one pricing on 21 stage shows, including some big ones that haven’t made their way to the Bay Area yet. For example, you can see Tony winners “Aladdin,” “Kinky Boots” or “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder.” Or take in one of the newer shows such as “The Country House,” a comedy based on Chekhov’s works. Or see a revival of “You Can’t Take It With You” starring James Earl Jones.
